ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Medication

Medication is like a superhero medicine that helps our body fight against sickness and feel better. Just like when we eat yummy food to be healthy, medication is also like food for our body but in a different form.

When we take medication, it goes inside our body and travels through different parts of our body where we have pain or sickness. This superhero medicine fights against the sickness and helps our body become better.

But just like how we have to eat the right amount of food, we also have to take the right amount of medication for it to work properly. That's why we need grown-ups to tell us what medication to take and how much.

Sometimes medication can have side effects, just like when we play too much and get tired. So we have to be careful and only take medication that is recommended by a doctor or a grown-up we trust.

In summary, medication helps our body fight against sickness and helps us feel better. But we have to take the right amount and only take the ones recommended by a doctor or a grown-up we trust.
